Champion system - How will you tell chars level?

    So y'all think that it's ok for there to be no immediately view-able distinction between a brand new level 50 and what is now a fully equipped VR14?

    I don't need to be able to see a distinction. I suppose others might have their reasons to want to see everything about a character just looking at them but I don't. If I want to know something I'll ask.

    IMO, of course there will be some kind of way to identify "level." We have it now and it'd be greatly surprising to not have it later; we're ego driven and couldn't stand to not have that capability. Do I dare say it's common sense? (I'll give you that it 'is' Zeni, though, so common sense has little room in the same sentence.)

    But if Zeni doesn't forget to borrow some common sense from the receptionists, of course, we won't be able to look into the specs of others. We can't now, as it should be, and we won't later, as it should be. Why would they change that?

    When the cps hit, there will be players who have they vr toons at max level since release (even i maxed out to vr 14 the same day the new ranks where released) and if ZOS told us real facts ( the xp tracking) lot of players, "tecnically " will be more powerful then a fresh and new vr 14 (or even a month old vr 14....) and even more than a fresh and new "champion" (vr1) . Now while this can be bad (due to the elitism that can create: "tell me when you have reached the vr 14 and i can now how strong you are" ) the real problem will be the lack of challenge when the full champion sistem is released, evryting will scale down to lv 50 and a super duper ex vr 14 (or more) probably can eliminate most of the mobs and bosses alone even in group istance .

    Hope zos will find a solution.

    I don't know how it's gonna happen, but I'm sure there will be a way to tell. Maybe it'll have a symbol for what tree that NPC/Player has spec'd most into?

    So I am in for the "inspect" option. There is another MMO I left before this (okay truth be told, I left for this game) but they had "inspect" as an option. However, you had the ability to turn it off. Why was this good for me? When I was building my toon, I would get stuck on some aspect or didn't understand trait combos, etc. I would find someone who would help, allow them to inspect me, and "tadow" instant suggestion to make me better. And surprise, surprise, while there was some exclusion happening I am sure (never encountered on myself), I got more help from this than not.
    Besides, do you really want to run with someone cause they are the best on the server, or do you want to run with people who work well together and are willing to help? Hopefully the later. 'Cause it gets lonely at the top and someone will always be there to knock you off. When you fall down, you will find there is no one there to help pick you up.
    Follow me if I advance, Kill me if I retreat, Avenge me if I die.

    When this immediate evil power has been defeated, we shall not yet have won the long battle with the elemental barbarities. Another evil, it may be an invisible adversary, will attempt, again, and yet again, to destroy our frail civilization. Is it true, I wonder, that the only way to escape a war is to be in it?

    If I die, you are forgiven, If I live, I will kill you.

    Yes, the plan is to completely remove veteran ranks, but it won't be with this next update. One or two more updates to go for complete removal of veteran levels.

    And then they will introduce Champion Levels? So for what this whole change? To give the same another name?

    Maybe I am mistaken, but the impression I get is that if you have a current VR 14 that will be getting a ton of CPs... then basically every lvl 50+ character on your account will have access to the same number of CPs. So in other words, even if there is some kind of ranking, all of your lvl 50+ characters will have the same ranking because they will have the same amount of CPs to distribute. Correct?

    So in that case, it is the account that would be guaged by some kind of ranking system, not the individual character. The only thing that would create some kind of ranking between individual lvl 50 characters would be gear aside from whatever ranking all of your level 50s get.

    So basically as long as you have a VR14 character, it's gonna turn all of your lvl 50+ characters into a VR14 character. So to speak.

    ZOS said during their Guild Summit panel that there would be an indicator next to the name of monsters and players. I'm assuming it wouldn't be far off a duplicate of players Cyrodiil ranks
